Caboose Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Hey everyone, I'm new here I bought my truck a month ago and it needs the bottom end rebuilt. I know there are no rebuild kits. I have no clue what all I need to do a rebuild? Sorry I know it's a noob question. I searched through the forms but didn't find any real answers. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 It really depends on what the issue is, which likely requires a teardown. Engine kits can still be had for the L20B. You will want to be sure to get as good a quality kit you can find. I recommend using Nissan front and rear main seals no matter what kit you end up getting. Quote Link to comment

It has 247k miles on it. So I am assuming the bottom end just needs to be completely rebuilt. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Tear it down and get it to a reputable machine shop. They will be able to measure the block up and make sure there are no cracks at the head bolts. They should also be able to get the parts you need or at least get you pointed in the right direction. My fee for this advice is pics of your new truck :) Quote Link to comment
